Mama’s Mini Cherry Cheesecakes

Ingredients  

  • Two 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 12 Nilla Wafer Cookies

Cheesecake Topping

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 can of cherry pie filling

Method 

  • Preheat oven roll 350F degrees
  • Line muffin tin and place one Nilla wafer cookie at the bottom of each muffin tin
  • Beat together all remaining cheesecake filling ingredients until fluffy - cream cheese, sugar, almond extract, and adding one egg at a time until well combined
  • Pour the filling mixture into muffin tins and bake for about 25-30 mins
  • While the cheesecakes are baking, stir together topping ingredients of sour cream, sugar and vanilla
  • Once cheesecakes are done baking (should be slightly brown on top, when you take them out they should start to deflate to create a well for the topping) spread the sour cream mixture over the hot cheesecakes
  • Let cool and top them with cherry pie filling
  • Chill in refrigerator for a few hours before serving
